CULMINATING ASSIGNMENT DUE TUESDAY, MAY 10. THIS COUNTS AS A PROJECT GRADE!!!
  • Use these video clips to interpret the effect of collisions in your everyday life.
  • Be prepared to discuss examples of collisions you experience in your daily adventures.
  • Include the physics principles behind the collisions, what happens to the momentum and what happens to the energy included in these collsions.
  • The examples shown in the video clips (bean ball, head butts, elasticity and the water balloon lab just a few examples to be discussed. As well as the Gallery pictures!)
  • DISCUSS them on the "DISCUSSION" TAB. THIS IS AN ASSIGNMENT AS WELL!
  • IT IS DUE BY TUESDAY, MAY 10! Collisions

Real World Examples of Collisions



What is the bean ball?

What happens during the bean ball?

What is the difference between elasticity in objects when evaluating potential harm?

How about a head butt?
